Agile Bench has been designed to ensure that the entire team understand the status of the project, both in the current iteration and future iterations. Key to this is the activity stream, it let's the team know when key events occur including:

• When a story has been created or changed
• When an activity has commenced
• When an iteration is completed
• When a new team member joins the project
• When an issue is raised or a comment posted

Invite your stakeholders into the project so that they can see exactly what is being delivered, they don't need to keep asking you what is happening or what you're working on. Activities and their priority are clear to everyone.

Agile development is all about collaboration, get your business owners and product managers involved in creating stories for future iterations. They can also prioritize upcoming activities so that the software you are delivering is fit for purpose and supports the business's real need at the time of delivery
